I recall an incident report, nothing to do with the wheels though, where the aircraft was on a flight flight after major servicing.
On rotate the pilot's panel died with just the turn and slip working. His navigator talked him round as his panel was working. It seems that the pilot's panel was supposed to be secured with just 4 fasteners and all the connections were gold pin butt connectors. Very advanced for the 60s.
Had the pilot applied mechanical pressure - thumped the panel - it might have worked.
The aircraft also had an astro-tracker, a large electro-mechanical computer.
On its handling I can only offer a negative comment. It certainly had speed that the Vulcan lacked but we never heard USAF fighter crews talking is its fighter like performance whereas they were in awe of the Vulcan.
